Over drinks, the self-effacing Powell, who was in town promoting the film, discussed the movie, the extramarital affair that is the subject of her next book, and her response to less-than-kind feedback from both Julia's editor, Judith Jones — and Julia herself.

Film professor Carol Clover had one interesting theory why women like horror films in her book Men, Women and Chainsaws.
